Chapter 699: Life and Death Battle with Yan Wuhen!
At the same time, Li Yun poured the full power of his transformed body into the blade. Indestructible Body, the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline, and Dragon Blood Transformation all pushed his physical strength to the limit.
This was not merely essence qi.
This was not merely Sword Intent.
This was the force of his entire body, bloodline, and sword path gathered into one strike.
Li Yun took one step forward.
Boom!
The lake beneath his foot collapsed downward.
The terrifying pressure of his one-million-times body weight caused the surface of the Pseudo-Domain to distort. Countless ripples spread across the lake, and the flaw hidden within the Domain appeared more clearly than ever before.
The white-robed man’s expression finally changed.
The lake was the foundation of his Pseudo-Domain.
As long as the lake remained stable, the Domain could continue suppressing all enemies. But Li Yun’s current weight and physical force were too terrifying. Every step he took shook the foundation of the Domain itself.
Li Yun’s eyes flashed.
He had found the opening.
"Ten Thousand Slaughter Sword Art."
The Slaughter Sword Intent erupted fully.
Hundreds, then thousands, of crimson slaughter qi swords appeared around him. Each sword carried terrifying killing power, and under the influence of Li Yun’s physical aura, they seemed heavier and more oppressive than before.
Then, pale immortal light spread across every slaughter sword.
"Eternal Immortal Sword Art, Undying Edge."
The Immortal Sword Intent entered the slaughter qi swords, making each one sharper, firmer, and harder to erase. The crimson sword bodies and pale immortal edges overlapped, creating a terrifying sword storm above the lake.
But Li Yun still did not release the attack.
He lowered his body slightly.
Golden dragon scales shone brightly across his arms.
The full power of Dragon Blood Transformation surged into his sword hand.
Then, using the terrifying foundation of his one-million-times body weight, he twisted his waist, drove the power from his legs through his body, and poured every bit of that physical force into his sword.
This was the strongest state he could currently reach.
Sword Intent.
Bloodline.
Body.
Weight.
All of it gathered into one strike.
"Undying Slaughter Edge."
Li Yun slashed down.
At that moment, the thousands of slaughter qi swords moved together with his main sword strike. The entire sky above the lake seemed to turn crimson and pale at the same time. The sword storm descended like divine punishment, carrying the cold will of slaughter, the eternal sharpness of immortality, and the crushing heaviness of Li Yun’s transformed dragon body.
The white-robed man raised his hand.
The lake surged violently, and a massive water barrier appeared before him. Mist gathered, spiritual energy condensed, and the Pseudo-Domain tried to suppress Li Yun’s attack with all its remaining strength.
However, the lake was no longer stable.
Li Yun’s dragon-transformed body stepped forward again.
Boom!
The lake sank once more.
The ripples became chaotic.
The weakness of the Pseudo-Domain was completely exposed.
The thousands of slaughter swords crashed into the water barrier, tearing through it layer by layer. Immortal Sword Intent prevented them from being dissolved by the Domain, while Slaughter Sword Intent destroyed the spiritual energy supporting it.
Crack!
A faint sound rang out.
It was as if an invisible shell had been struck.
The white-robed man’s eyes narrowed.
The Pseudo-Domain cracked.
Li Yun roared softly, and the golden dragon scales on his body shone even brighter. He pushed Dragon Blood Transformation to its limit and pressed his sword downward with all his strength.
The final Sword Light descended.
It was crimson at its core and pale at its edge, with golden dragon light wrapped around it. The attack carried the power of two Xiantian Stage Sword Intents, Indestructible Body, the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline, Dragon Blood Transformation, and the terrifying momentum of Li Yun’s millionfold body weight.
The lake split apart.
The mist shattered.
The Pseudo-Domain collapsed completely.
Boom!
The entire space trembled as though a false world had been torn open.
The white-robed man’s expression finally changed completely. Without the protection of his Pseudo-Domain, his true strength was exposed. He was no longer an unreachable existence. He was only an ordinary 9th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator.
Li Yun’s Sword Light did not stop.
It pierced through the shattered Domain, passed through the broken water barrier, and arrived before the white-robed man in an instant.
Squelch!
The Sword Light pierced through his throat.
The white-robed man’s body froze.
His eyes were still calm, but a trace of disbelief was now hidden deep within them. He had never expected Li Yun to break his Pseudo-Domain not by relying on a single sword art alone, but by fusing Sword Intent, bloodline power, physical strength, and overwhelming body weight into one terrifying attack.
A moment later, the light in his eyes faded.
His body collapsed onto the surface of the lake.
The white-robed man was dead.
Li Yun slowly lowered his sword.
The golden dragon scales on his body gradually faded, and Dragon Blood Transformation receded. His aura returned to normal, but his eyes still carried a sharp light.
This battle had given him another clear realization.
His sword path was powerful.
His body was also powerful.
But when his two Xiantian Stage Sword Intents, Indestructible Body, the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline, and Dragon Blood Transformation were used together, the strength he could unleash was far beyond what any single path could achieve.
Especially his one-million-times body weight.
When used properly, it did not merely increase his physical power. It could even shake the foundation of a Pseudo-Domain.
Whoosh!
Just as the white-robed man died, a white light suddenly descended and enveloped Li Yun’s entire body.
In the next moment, his figure appeared within a bright space.
This space was incomparably luminous. At its center floated a ball of light so dazzling that it was almost blinding. Even with Li Yun’s current cultivation, he could not look directly at it for long.
With only a single glance, he felt a sharp stinging pain in his eyes. A burning sensation spread from deep within his pupils, forcing him to look away.
Flash!
Almost at the same time Li Yun appeared, another figure suddenly appeared in the bright space.
He was pale, with a sinister smile on his face and eyes as deep as whirlpools.
"Yan Wuhen?"
Seeing this figure, Li Yun’s heart could not help shaking, and his expression immediately became solemn.
This Yan Wuhen was actually able to pass the trial of the Six Paths Pagoda so quickly?
"It is you?"
At the same time, Yan Wuhen also noticed Li Yun. His face immediately darkened, and cold light flickered in his eyes.
"Congratulations to you both for successfully passing the trial of the Six Paths Pagoda."
Just then, an illusory image of the black-robed man suddenly appeared.
It was the same black-robed man Li Yun had seen when he first entered the Six Paths Pagoda.
He looked at Li Yun and Yan Wuhen expressionlessly, then said indifferently, "However, according to the rules, no matter how many cultivators undergo the trial in the same batch, only one person can ultimately pass the trial and receive the final reward."
"Although you both passed the trial, due to the restrictions of the rules, only one can survive. Therefore, next, you will engage in a life-and-death battle."
"In this life-and-death battle, there are no rules. No means are forbidden. There is no surrendering, and there is no giving up. The only way to determine the winner is to kill the opponent."
The black-robed man’s voice was extremely cold, and his eyes were indifferent, as if the two standing before him were not people, but merely two ants.
